Smart tiles

FYI smart tiles are on sale at www.thesmarttiles.com I was thinking of installing on my backsplash and started searching the web. Some patterns are at $3.55 that made it a no brainier for me! Sale ends April 10

Wont shipping put that price back to where Home Depot/Lowe's, both of which sell the product, are generally plus you can get additional easily there if you 'screw up' or miscount by a couple?

Looks like a good product for an RV though.

At the Home Depot's / Lowes up by us they didn't carry many options for what tile colors you could get. So, I ended up ordering them on-line just to get the color I wanted. So thank you for posting this! I may get a few more for the bathroom!

My wife and I are planning to add smart tiles to our kitchen and bathroom this winter as part of the continued remodel of our rig.

Jeff, ya done good, fella! You have just enough of the material to set it off, make it functional and not make the area look "too busy."

I like that -
How did you get the existing backsplash off (I assume there was one about 1/4" thick if anything like ours)?

Here is a before snap-shot of the area. Used a hair dryer on low setting to warm up the dark boarder. It had a surprisingly strong adhesive backing. I just scored the edge next to the trim pieces with a straight edge blade and started the peeling process.

Thanks!!
Looks easily doable for many of us. Now I just have to convince DW that's what she really needs
